About us

FINDING INTENTION

November 1, 2018, 7:00pm –9:00pm ET

We all get that “nudge nudge” from deep in our bodies. Those nudges are ultimately what will reveal the parts of yourself that are stuck in the darkness. They are what will catapult you into clearing out whatever is holding you back from living your best life and your purpose. In this circle we will focus on how to listen and trust

your intuitive voice, how to strengthen your connection to your intuitive knowing, and put it into practice in your daily life.

GENTLENESS AND SELF CARE

November 8, 2018, 7:00pm –9:00pm ET

In this circle we will learn how to cultivate radical self love and self compassion with ourselves. This means learning to witness where we shine, and also where we obstruct ourelves through self-limiting internal diologues, behaviours, or patterns. Radical self love means meeting ourselves exactly where we are; acknowledging and owning our power while also accepting when we drift out of alignment.

ENVISIONING YOUR IDEAL FUTURE

November 15, 2018, 7:00pm –9:00pm ET

In this circle we will learn how to dig deep and envision our ideal futures. Maybe you’re already in a period of transition or flux, or maybe you’re just starting out on your journey of self discovery. Wherever you are on the journey, understanding these pivot points helps us create a new possibility for what a life of connection, meaning and purpose can look like.
